George W. Burns, the master of therapeutic storytelling, has brought together a group of international therapists to describe why and how they use storytelling in their clinical practice and share specific examples of what metaphors they have successfully used with their clients. This new companion to Burns's other successful "Healing Stories" books is structured around five outcome-oriented goals (improving mood, building positive relationships, changing patterns of behavior, enhancing health and well-being, and developing life skills) with relevant stories in each section. This insightful new work will engage students and professionals new to this therapeutic approach as well as those already using storytelling in therapy.
